He mentions our Tastyspleen tournament in his interview LOL

I guess he forgot his buddy Purri won a ton of money at the last Quakecon playing Q2

anyway, yes I am trapped in the past

2ghz and 32-bits later, I still play q2 in software, lolz

I started playing Q2 on my Xbox 360, it didn't give me any gamer points, so I got pissed and stopped.

Dukester · Mar 2006

Cheap, do you ever play on any of the tastyspleen servers?
if so what name do you play under?!

I can be aware of everyone who plays there muwahahahaha!

seriously though, do you play there?

CheapAlert · Mar 2006

i think i last played there last year $:\$

I always have q2 (and the rest of the quakes and exp pack's) installed though i haven't been bothered to slap ASE on here yet. I'll probably play as soon as i do that

oh and i'm in a very player modeling mood lately, after my recent success with md3, q3 and blender

one of my students brought over his 360, we played quake4 for 5 mins, and 2 hours of 4 player Quake2. Looked good on the xb360. My PC version is at my folks place in NY

we have just recently started a "Xatrix, The Reckoning" server. It actually gets busy Saturdays and Sundays

Cheap, come sign up for the tasty 500!
I know Soul still plays I see him there off and on.
We got a mention from Planetquake today

Is Q2 still fairly popular? I mean, can you go online and see a decent selection of servers?

/me is nostalgic.

CheapAlert · Mar 2006

yeah, all seeing eye reports at least 620 active servers for me, so it's not totally wiped out

btw, i play as CHEP, as that's really short and less obnoxious

Malekyth · Mar 2006

I think I'll pick it up tonight on the way home, and see if I can get on one'a them tastyspleen servers I hear tell about.

I play as That Darn Satan!, which is calculatedly long and obnoxious.

Quake2maX.

That's all I'm saying.

CheapAlert · Mar 2006

too bad that's old and crashes

there's also quake2evolved, but as you all already know is ran by a dick

EchonGL (EGL) is pretty good though

then again i don't really use new ports as i prefer to play in software, where the levels and graphics actually look proper and not blurry, washed out and oversaturated in orange dye.

Seriously though, I've never experienced Q2maX crashing on me.

Remember Mal you have to download the 3.20 patch to play online. You can get it from file planet I'm sure, or you can get it from Q2Database with no waiting.

Make sure you at least get the full version

q2-3.20-x86-full.exe

because is includes all the DM maps like The Edge

> Man, it's been like five months since I last played Quake2, and probably longer than that since I last posted here. I didn't know there were still Polycounters who played the game, and this just might be the inspiration I need to get me back in the arenas. Well, that and practicing for the next QuakeCon, if they're having the Q2 tourney again this year.

Q2 It still lives!
